Reading this report
What does "Medium and Large 1" mean?
USDA feeder grades describe frame size and muscle thickness, not quality of the individual animal. "Medium and Large" is the frame score; the number is muscle (1 = heaviest muscled). "Medium and Large 1–2" pens mix both muscle scores — common across the Southeast.
What is $/cwt?
Dollars per hundredweight — per 100 lb of animal. A 500-lb calf at $450/cwt brings 5 × $450 = $2,250. Lighter cattle usually bring more per cwt but less per head.
Why are some prices per head?
Bred cows, cow-calf pairs, and some replacement classes sell by the head, not by weight. We show those exactly as USDA reports them — a $/head figure is never converted into $/cwt on this site.
Where do these numbers come from?
From the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Livestock Market News — federal reporters at the sale. We publish each report in full and link the official USDA document at the top of the page.
Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded 5.00-9.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold 4.00-8.00 lower. A severe winter storm is expected across the Northern Plains towards the end of the week hampering movement towards the north. Demand light to moderate for yearlings as recent weeks have seen large placements of feeder cattle limiting pen space in many yards. Steer calves traded 6.00-8.00 lower. Heifer calves sold 3.00-5.00 lower. Demand moderate for the bulk of the offering, few stick out offerings that were in thinner flesh more suitable for grazing sold with good demand.
